Asthma Resource Toolkit - Starter Guide

ACF's Region IV developed the Asthma Resource Toolkit- Starter Guide, in partnership with the southeast regional office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through a demonstration pilot in two targeted Georgia counties (Bibb and Lowndes). The Toolkit was designed to:

increase awareness and educate pre-school staff and families about environmental health risk factors to young children; and

facilitate access to resources that could be integrated easily into ongoing program activities.

The Toolkit has been widely disseminated across the country and rolled out as a national model by Secretaries of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
